A4 TRAGEDY: All four young men who died are from Calne, Police named them

The investigation into their deaths is continuing.

Specialist teams are carrying out detailed enquiries to understand the cause of the crash, which happened in the early hours of yesterday morning on the A4 at Derry Hill.

The families of those who sadly died, all young males from the Calne area, are also continuing to receive support from specially-trained family liaison officers.

Inspector James Brain, from the Chippenham Area Community Policing Team, said the tragedy had had a huge impact on the town.

He said: “Firstly, I want to offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the four people who so sadly died.

“I know that I speak on behalf of not just everyone at Wiltshire Police, but also the community of Calne, when I say that our thoughts are with them at such a difficult and tragic time.

“Calne is a small, tight-knit community and I know that this tragedy will have had a huge impact on those living in the town, particularly those who knew the four individuals who lost their lives.”

Inspector Brain said that officers and staff from the local community policing team would be carrying out extra patrols across the town over the coming week, to provide an additional presence in the town and offer any necessary support.

He added: “The investigation into the cause of the collision is still ongoing and I would urge people not to speculate, but to allow the police to carry out the necessary enquiries.

“At the moment, the town’s focus should be on coming together to support those who have lost loved ones.”

The A4 and the A342 were closed yesterday while investigation and recovery work was carried out, but reopened at around 9pm last night (16/08).

The investigation team are continuing to encourage anyone with information about the collision to call 101 and quote log number 64 of yesterday (16/08).
